RE: More gravity...

Eventually there would be zero gravity, but what happens while the field is collapsing. If a mass suddenly vanished would the gravity field collapse like a magnetic field or would the field disapate from the center out. If the sun suddenly disapeared the lights wouldn't go out for eight minutes. Also we would still feel its gravity for eight minutes. What happens at the instant the field passes you by. On the side towards the sun you have zero gravity, on the side away from the sun you still have a gravity field. Does this field pull you toward it?
